Weihrauch HW35 Tune Kits

[Squidder]

You are mistaken, this kit from Germany up to 16J, it means (.177) 820fps (Leistung: bis zu 16 Joule). It is not subject to any restrictions in Europe or Germany.I sometimes buy air guns and spare parts in Germany, there are no problems, the US customs sometimes delays parcels for checking for about a month. Air guns with a power of more than 16J in Europe are considered firearms.

I contacted AirJoe and AirGhandi directl. That is what they both told me.

Not long ago I put a ARH kit in a HW35. It came out quite nice. Just a hair less power from stock but that was probably because it was dieseling quite a bit when I first got it. The ARH kits have a lot of preload. Prepare to use a spring compressor.

Replace the breech seal and piston seal with their parts too? Gunis over 35 years old and been seldom used…

Is this a leather sealed gun?

Is this a leather sealed gun?

Don’t think so… due to year made… 1987 from serial number search… gun never been disassembled… I am the original owner… purchased in Germany in 1987/1988 time frame

Here's my recommendation. Vortek piston seal, ARH spring kit and only if you need to change it an OE Weihrauch breech seal.

Scott (Motorhead) put a 12fpe VORTEK kit in my HW35.
I like it a lot.

he recommended the ARH spring, any specific reason Vortek was used instead?

I have had good results with the ARH kit in my HW95 using a Vortek seal & GPL-205 Krytox lube. I have not tried any of the other kits you listed. FWIW I suggest that you take before/after pics with whichever kit you decide on.

I was shooting my HW35 (no letter) yesterday , and i'm thinking it was a bit jumpy . maybe needs a kit to smooth it out ?
I believe it is 1975 as close as Serial numbers are .

Thinking on this and matbe my thinking is wrong , but.

You look at vortek kit. You get a different configured spring that needs there top hat and guide and a sleeve or liner thing that you read around that van cause rubbing or gringing and most just remove it ..

Then arh. You get a drop in spring like the hornet then i think for $5 more a pre set one as well to make it more drop in .

Then just use you original hw guide and piston thrust washer . Then just fit your seal lube it up slap it together go shoot 99% of the time if the seal is fitted correct that gun will be good to go and a consistent shootrr shot after shot.
